United Thread 2015/16

Why do they keep saying that United aren’t a sacking club, when in reality they’ve sacked 7 of the last 8?

In fact, once you’ve allowed for Keegan and Pellegrini, that’s actually worse than City

Very true, plus the fact that Pelligrini wasn't sacked.

Are the worms turning?

Time for a Save Our Ed thread?

Well.......he was.

 

[Ancient Citizen]

Well.......he was.

When?

 

[PaulMoulden'sRecord]

When?

When he was released 12 months early from a contract.....that's kinda being sacked, just worded nicely.

As I see it Maureen has the scum by the balls.
I do so hope he is insisting on some clause like Pisscan out of the club before signing anything or complete control over transfers.

IMO This is Moureens biggest test as a manager I'd say the state the rags are in squad wise must be the worst he's had. He usually has 2 successful seasons then flops hopefully that trend will continue.

 

[Tom_mcfc]

Stop calling him Maureen.

I hope he is really really shit for them.

 

[PaulMoulden'sRecord]

Just had a rag at work say it's the 'rebirth' of the united way!?! I had to ask him what this was.........building behind one manager and bring the kids through apparently. I'm not sure he knows who they've appointed!!?!

Yesterday was international turtle day too which I found really amusing ......

I thought they just 'didn't take up the option for an extension'

Yes Pelle opted out of his last year before he was sacked

Isn't that just another nicely worded way of sacking someone? If it was at any other club we'd be saying he was sacked.

Kinda, but his own words were he wouldn't be honouring it, which means we're far classier than the Rags ;-)

No he didn't. The club extended his contract last summer by a year and then paid him off his final year.

He was sacked.

 

[Bill]

he's gone. that's all that matters. Roll on next season with Pep at the helm.
can't wait.

I was just listening to a recording from 5Live the from the other night - they were banging on about the 'United Way' and that record they have about having an academy player n the squad since time began. I thought that record went a couple of years ago? Anyway, I couldn't bare to listen for very long, especially as they had 2 united fans on as well

He was sacked.

Is the correct answer.

Cuntona throws his oar in

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-manchester-united-guardiola?CMP=share_btn_tw

Cantona, back on the small screen this summer as the face of ITV’s marketing campaign for its sports coverage, believes Mourinho’s once and future nemesis would have been a much better fit. “Guardiola was the one to take. He is the spiritual son of Johan Cruyff,” he says, praising the late Dutch master for having overseen “two revolutions” – one as a player at Ajax and another as a coach at Barcelona. “I would have loved to have seen Guardiola in Manchester [United]. He is the only one to change Manchester. He is in Manchester, but at the wrong one.”
